    Proverbs 22
    • 1   A [good] name [is] rather to be chosen than great riches, [and] loving favor rather than silver and gold.
    • 2   The rich and poor meet together: the LORD [is] the maker of them all.
    • 3   A prudent [man] foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
    • 4   By humility [and] the fear of the LORD [are] riches, and honor, and life.
    • 5   Thorns [and] snares [are] in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
    • 6   Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
    • 7   The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower [is] servant to the lender.
    • 8   He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
    • 9   He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
    • 10   Cast out the scorner, and contention shall end; yes, strife and reproach shall cease.
    • 11   He that loveth pureness of heart, [for] the grace of his lips the king [shall be] his friend.
    • 12   The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
    • 13   The slothful [man] saith, [There is] a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
    • 14   The mouth of strange women [is] a deep pit: he that is abhorred by the LORD shall fall therein.
    • 15   Foolishness [is] bound in the heart of a child; [but] the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
    • 16   He that oppresseth the poor to increase his [riches], [and] he that giveth to the rich, [shall] surely [come] to want.
    • 17   Bow down thy ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thy heart to my knowledge.
    • 18   For [it is] a pleasant thing if thou keepest them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
    • 19   That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
    • 20   Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
    • 21   That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send to thee?
    • 22   Rob not the poor, because he [is] poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
    • 23   For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
    • 24   Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
    • 25   Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
    • 26   Be not thou [one] of them that strike hands, [or] of them that are sureties for debts.
    • 27   If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
    • 28   Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
    • 29   Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean [men].

    Webster Bible Electronic Format.
    PUBLIC DOMAIN

    February 1992

    Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.

    I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

    I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.
